RB Engine Protect system

Seen in our Toy Fair coverage, RB have now released their new front bearing protector, the Engine Protect. Front bearings are not 100% sealed and let dust get inside the engine, causing both the bearing and engine to suffer and wear out prematurely thus creating many problems as compression loss, flaming out and expensive repair costs. RB studied this problem and developed the engine protect, a machined and treated steel disc that only weights 2.4 grams and fits most .21 and .28 engines. Recommended for buggy, truggy and 1/8 On-Road on a soaking wet track, it protects the bearing by preventing dust from getting in, thus increasing engine life and performance.

STRC Slash 4×4 option parts

ST Racing Concepts have released a huge selection of option parts for the Traxxas Slash 4×4 starting with this CNC machined aluminium multi-piece steering bellcrank set that greatly increases the durability and takes out any flex in the kit plastic bellcrank system providing a more precise steering feel.

The rear hub carriers feature a set-screw over hinge-pin design that securely keep the hub carriers on the hinge-pins, and also keep the wear to a minimum by making the hinge-pins rotate in the arms and not in the aluminium hub carriers while also increasing the durability. Greatly reduce the flex of the stock plastic towers with the new CNC machined aluminium HD front and rear shock towers.
